A Bard Off the Top

Ever since Dane was in "Hamlet", there's been a lot of Shakespeare-speak around our house. This evening, Deanna and Dane were joking about something. When Deanna ran out of fun, Dane-stimulating comments, she resorted to,

"Fie! Fie on you!"

Dane cracked up, then responded with some other line from the Play. I was standing at the sink, cleaning up after dinner, listening to this whole routine. I couldn't help myself. It was time to get involved.

"Get thee to a bedroom," I yelled at Dane.

Deanna, quick-witted as usual, responded.

"Is this a bedtime I see before me?"

What would we do without Shakespeare? After all, "All the 'kitchen's' a stage."
